.CHILD'S SKIN
Ears and Scalp Covered with EczematOus
Scabs and Sores, Cured by Cuticura.

MY little son. aged eight years. has been afflicted
w with Eczema of the scalp, and at times great
portion OF the body since he two years old
1t began in his ears and extended to his scalp which
became covered with scabs and sores, and from
which sticky fluid poured out causing intense
itching and distress, and leaving his hair matted
and lifeless. Underneath these scabs the skin was
raw, like piece of beefsteak; gradually the hair
came out and was DESTROYED until but small patch
left at the back of the head My friendsin Pea
body know how my little boy has suffered; at night
he could scratch his head until his pillow was
cred with blood; used to tie his hands behind him,
and in many ways tried to prevent his scratching;
but 1T was no use he would scratch. took him to
the hospital and to the best physicians in Peobody
without success; about this time some friends who
had been cured by the Cuticura Remedies prevailed
upon me to try them; began to them on tie 18th
of January last; In seven months every particle OF
the disease was removed; not spot or scab remains
on his scalp to tell the story of his suffering His
hair has returned and is thick and strong and his
scalp sweet and clean any chids in the world.
cannot say enough to express my gratitude for this
wonderful cure by the Cuticura Remedies, and all
similarly afflicted to know that my statement is true
and without exaggerstion.

Slosson and Schaefer to Visit Patti and
Nicolini in Wales.
Adelina Patti and her husband, Nicolini,
are enthusiastic billiard players. When
travelling they have table set up in their
rooms at every town where they stop more
than one night. Atable always stands ready
in their apartments at the Windsor Hotel,
New York city, and in their castle home at
Craig-y-nos, Wales, a six by twelve English
pocket table and four and a-half by nine
American carrom table share, with mann
moth orchestrion, the finest room in the
house. PATHS playing hardly equals her sing
ing, but is, like the bears dancing, pretty
good for q bear" while Nicolini is really ex-
pert with the cue. During the past six
months Nicolini has had many hours tut
ton from both George Slosson and Jacob
Schaefer, and the relations between scholar
and teachers have been unusually pleasant.
Schaefer recently gave to Nicolini the
charmed cue with which he had won first
prizes in four championship contests, while
Nicolini has given to Slosson beautiful
painted cue and to Schaefer diamond and
sapphire pin. Both Patti and Nicolini are
especially intimate with Slosson, and have
invited him to visit them at Craig-y-nos.
Slosson sails for Wales with Patti and Mic
olini about May IA and Schaefer follows later.
1t is rumored that in July Schaefer, Slosson
and Vignaux will play in a private tourna-
ment at PATHS castle, that the assembly will
be such as never before honored professional
billiard players, and that among the most
interested spectators will be the Prince Of
Wales and a dozen of English nobility.

REVOLT AGAINST BAKED BEANS.
Convicts in Massachusetts Prison Rebel
Against Boston's Favorite Dish.


Convicts in Massachusetts Prison Rebel
Against Boston's Favorite Dish.
A band of desperate conyicts in the Massa-
chusetts State prison have defied discipline
and done their best for several days to incite
a revolt. The reason given for the outbreak
is an almost incredible one. Warden Russell
says the first sign of trouble was refusal by
the dissatisfied prisoners to eat baked beans.
He declares that nowhere in New England is
this dish served in more succulent and appe-
tizing style than in the prison. The baking
is done to perfection.
The great pots are carefully watched until
the top layer of beans turns to that dark
rich brown which makes the Boston epicure
offer premium for the first spoonful. The
big chunk of halflean pork sticking up in
the center is always cooked just to a turn,
juicy and tender. Those who prefer their
beans moist get the choice in perfection, for
in the lower stratum of each pot the favorite
New England fruit swims, sweet and mealy
as baked chestnut, in that amber liquid
born of Just the right combination of molas-
SEES, melted fat pork and hot oven.
Against this ambrosial dish, served with
the best brown bread about fifty of the con-
victsrevolted. Warden Russell indignation
against such ingratitude was Just and right
eous. He set about quelling the rebellion
with strong hand Several men who Kissed
him in the chapel on Sunday were detected
and put in solitary confinement. They and
their friends in the regular cells began to
make night hideous with bowls and yells.
Others were added to those in the solitary,
strong rooms, until more than forty men
were so confined. The night disturbance
continued, and the rebellious convicts
smashed everything breakable they could
lay their hands on.
Finally there was contest in which one
convict's nose was broken and another had
an arm broken, since which the distaste for
beans has been less violent in its manifesta-
tons.

a Washington dispatch to the Balti-
more AmeyTcdn says There seems to be
great deal Of trouble Ia keeping serv-
ants at Red Top. The fierce winds Of
March drove the President and his wife
from their country residence Soon after
they left the steward of the White House,
who has charge of the servants also at
Round Top, got notice from the domes-
tics employed there that they would like
to leave. He tried others, but they, too,
left, and after wondering what the cause
was he found that the colored people
employed were afraid to stay there. They
were superstitious. The bowling winds
had made the windows rattle and Whistled
through the woodwork of the house.
Stories got abroad that "spooks'' were
there. Then some said that an old man
had once died in the house, and his ghost
was revisiting it. This was enough for
the colored servants, and forthwith they
resigned.
A PHANTOM SCHOONER.

WARNED OF HER FATHERS DEATH.
The Pittsburg Times says: A curious
instance of premonition is related in the
case of Isaac Mushrush, one of the vic
Tins of the boiler explosion at Thomp-
sons Mill. He lived at Geneva with his
wife and one child. On Sunday he was
much depressed, and told his wife that he
feared some great calamity. She tried to
cheer him up. At two o'clock on Monday
the explosion occurred and he was killed.
At the same hour, before it was possible
for the news of the explosion to reach
Geneva, his little child, playing in the
yard, ran into the house crying as if her
heart would break and exclaiming: "Oh,
my papa is killed my papa is killedT
